The Prime Minister highlighted that figures like Arfa Karim serve as an inspiration for all girls and stressed the importance of addressing barriers to girls’ education. He paid tribute to the contributions of Hazrat Khadija (RA) in commerce and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto as the first female Prime Minister of the Islamic world.
